An Involuntary High ter • Husband, Boon If Ho Did Koop Data Hoars. Sept 32.—Ten palls on the taste to-night and even kittie’s purring isn’t comforting. It is plain as day, Jennie Martin, that you have the bluea I didn’t know what I would do if there was a man around—* scratch his eyes out, I guess. Yes, I know I should, for there was Mra Smith’s husband who came home at 2 o’clock this morning. I was awak ened by hearing him whistling out under the lamp post and trying hie various keys on the front door. I am pertain he started on the watch key and went right through the list Whon I said to Mrs. Smith, "Your husband was talaad la tka Original Peelcege. If there Is one thing just a little more absurd than another it is the way poisons are sold in New York. A physician taken with a toothaohe in a part of the town out of his usual heat went into a drug store on Lex* ington avenue to get a little bella donna, says the ReoorUer. The olerk would not sell it to him. He referred to the dirootory. and produced his visiting oards to show who he was. The olerk was adamant—-he would sell a small dose of belladonna to no one he did not know. The doctor offered to write a prescription for himself, but his proposal was scorned. Then the doctor said he would take a bottle of elixir of opium, and though the clerk was "riled” there was noth ing for him to do but to sell It. Of course there was enough of it to kill a dozen people. A day or two after that a woman who is now in an in sane asylum, and who even then had the light of madness in her eyes, went into another apothecary shop and with no difficulty at all bought an ounce bottle of morphine. Of course she went home and tried to kill herself. After she had taken the morphine she was taken to a hos pital and a dozen people made a night of it whipping her, walking her, electrioising her and finally sav ing her life. Anything in the orig inal package can be got anywhere. Small doses there is a lot ,of fuss about A woman who is a confirmed victim of opium buys an "olixer” as her regular standby, and her family are helpless, because anyone will sell it to her. Another gets an arsenical pill in boxes as it comes from the maker. A man, not being subjeot to the searches usually practiced on the feminine victim by her family, constantly gets his morphine in the original eunoe bottles and says he has never had his right to do< so questioned. A Urlok Baking Machine. A new brick baking' machine is to be noted among the reoent mechan ical noveltiea It is a simple con trivance consisting of a table cov ered with iron brick moldB, to whioh an electrio ourrent is applied, the table being eight by fourteen feet and holding 1,000 molds, joined to gether like pigeonholea Each mold is the size of a brick which has been pressed but not baked, and each has a cover so fitted as to follow the brick as it shrinks. The bricks are taken from the presses and placed in the molds, the cover adjusted and the current turned on. The iron sides of the mold form the “resist ance,” and the bricks are virtually in closed by walls of fire. The brloks having shrunk to the proper size the sinking covers of the molds automat ically turn off the current, jthe bak ing is done and the bricks are dumped. A* a Ballef Measure. Count d’Orsay, on his first visit to England, chanced to be seated at din ner next to Lady Holland. That re markable and many-sided woman was in one of her imperious moods. She dropped her napkin; the oount picked it up gallantly; then her fan, then her fork, then her glass, and, as often, her neighbor stooped and restored the lost article. At last, however, the patience of the youth gave way, and, on her dropping her napkin again, he turned and called one of the footmen behind him. “Put my plate on the floor,” said he; “I will finish my dinner there; it will be so much more convenient to Lady Hol land. ”—Argonaut. A False Frophet la Jamaica. A false prophet has arisen on the island of Jamaica. He teaches that God has given him power to make a new BetheBda of a small river on the island. Every Wednesday he stands on a rock in the stream and blesses the waters, which are then supposed to have the power of healing any disease. The natives are crazy in the fanatic belief in the new prophet and 20,000 pilgrims a day bathe in the waters. It is feared that a pes tilence will thus be spread, but the government is unable to oontrol the converts. A Boston Bkbf. Boston Ma—What does baby want P Is it this pencil? Boston Baby—Ahgoo, agoo! “Of course that’s it And does baby want paper I” “Ma! ma! me! ma!” “Yes, mamma cognises correctly, I wonder what baby wants of pencil and paper?” “Me! mo! ne! mo! me! mo!” “Bless his heart! He wants to be gin to write his memoirs, ” A Wook of Well Doing. Sunday School Teacher—I told you last Sunday that I wished each of you would try to make at least one person happy during the week. Did you? Boy—Yes’m I made grandma happy. “That is noble. How did you do it?" “I went to visit her, and she’s always happy when she sees I’ve got a good appetite.” A Museum of Royal Garters.

HE *HD AN ELEPHANT. 8 Kxpetlsnoo Wm loo KxoHln* to Make Him Desire Any Mom of Ik "No, I wasn’t born this way,” re* plied the man, as he booked up to a chair, got his crutches from undor his arms and foil Into the seat "Thla came on me very suddenly one day, about lifteon years ago. ” "What do the dootors oall it?” asked the Detroit Free Press man. "Damphoollsm, 1 believe. .That's what it is, anyway.” "Get a fall from a balloon?” "Rather worse. I don’t mind say ing that about fifteen years ago I used to think I knew it all. You've heard of the town of Chllliootho, Ohio, maybe?" “Well, I ornamented that town with my preienee and I flattered my* ■ell the people couldn’t possibly (pare me over a day at a time. I was at the apex ot my conceit when aolrcus came along. There was a drove ot eight elephants in the menagerie and as I stood beforo them 1 wanted to do something awfully smart One of the beasts was reaching out with his trunk for cakes, and I determined to give him a lighted cigar. An old gray-haired farmer who stood by and twigged my game uttered a word of oautlon, but I wasn't taking advice from hayseeds at that epoch." “And you carried out your plans, eh?" “I did. I puffed on the weed until it had lots of fire, hid it behind mo for a minute and when the elephant reached again I let him have it, fire end first Something happened of course. I had just commenced to grin and look around for applause when that proboscis suddenly picked me up, whirled me high in the air, and then 1 was (lung dean across the tent and landed under a cage of serpents. I knew when the fun began, but I didn’t see the end of it I was unoonsoious for two days and when 1 came to I was so knooked out ot my plumb that the doctors couldn’t do any better than this for me. 1 shall be a cripple to the end of my day a’’ “But"— “Oh, certainly 11 know more than I did and T shall never have the swell head again. It seems that the elephant’s trainer had his eye on me all the time and I’ve often felt that it was too bad he didn’t feel inclined to kick me all pver town and back and thus enable me to learn wisdom and keep in shape at the same time." FOR THE TBBTH. ■oms Good Bales to Follow In the Cere of Them. One of the most skillful dental sur geons in New York gives these rules for the care of the teeth: * “Uso a soft brush and water the temperature of the mouth. Brush the teeth up and down in the morn ing, before going to bed and after eating, whether it is three or six times a day, Use a good tooth pow der twice a week, not oftener, ex oept in case of sickness when the acids from a disordered Btomach are apt to have an unwholesome effect upon the dentine. “Avoid all tooth pastes and denti frices that foam in the mouth; the lather is a sure sign of soap, and soap injures the gums, without in any way cleansing the teeth. “The very best powder is of precipi tated chalk; it is absolutely harmless and will clean the enamel without affecting the gums. Orris root ora little wintergroen added gives a pleasant flavor, but in no way im proves the chalk. “At least a quart of tepid water should be used in rinsing the mouth. A teaspoonful of listerlne in half a glass of w^ter, used as a gargle aftor meals, is excellent; it is good for sore or loose gums; it sweetens the mouth and is a valuable antiseptic. “Coarse, hard brushes and soapy dentifrices oause the gums to reoede, leaving the dentine exposed. “Use a quill pick it necessary after eating, but a piece of wax floss is better." These rules are worth heeding. Contracts Aw irdnd bjr Toss-Up. There are times when the post office department pitches penniea It is not very often that this sport is indulged in, but nevertheless it is a recognized part of the official pro gram. It is in connection with the star routes. When there is a new route established,at the regular four yearly letting of the contracts, say, there is nearly always competition between would-be contractors. It sometimes happens that there are two lowest bidders. If these two men both live on the route, or live at an equal distance from it, the depart ment tosses a penny. Mr. Stono does the tossing. He is the chief clerk in the second assistant post- • master-general’s office and the con tracts go through him. Mr. Stone has the contractors take seats in his handsomely upholstered office. He feels in his pocket for a penny. If he has nothing but large bills in his pocket, which is apt to be the case, he borrows a nickel from the young man who writes shorthand for him. Then ho pitches up the nickel While it is away near the ceiling he says to his young man: “Which shall it beP” And the young man answers: “Heads for Smith." And if heads come up Smith gets the contract. If tails, Brown gets it.—Wasningtou Capital Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder World's Fair Highest Medal end Diploma.

McKInsoy, postmaster of Kokomo, Ind., and a bravo ex-soldler, says: “I had been severely troubled with heart disease ever since leaving the army at the close of the late war.
